Sales Note
***AUGMENTED REALITY COVER***

Merak EP by Sev Dah marks the debut release on the Berlin-based label Dust in Grooves. Heavily influenced by the grit and zeal of Berlin, Detroit, Birmingham, and, his own, Sarajevo, Sev Dah unleashes his distinctively punchy and deviously structured spheric sound across this 4 track EP.

Opening with a stomping dancefloor tool that sets the energy high with playful and nostalgic loops, "Audio Grape" showcases the dynamic range of the techno proletarian. The dexterity of "Butter Knife" cuts intensely through the air with unexpected tones and drums, evolving into a steamy big-room journey made of sinister spins all the way through.

On the B side, "Dense Fog" permeates the space with a thick grip, softly engulfing all the senses in a labyrinth of sound, steadily building up anticipation with gleaming pads and elevated melodies as the story unfolds. The final track "Meraki" glistens with cold, robotic, fast-paced beats, roaring with otherworldly chords, like omens from the dystopian future, and melancholic subtlety that leaves a feeling of bitter hope.

From start to end, the EP Merak is an expression of the thriving and techno-revolutionary spirit of Sev Dah, crafting powerful narratives through a minimalistic approach. As a founder of DIG records, Olivia Mendez aims to bring precisely this signature sound, and a dedication to vinyl culture, which puts Dust In Grooves at the forefront of the contemporary techno scene. Further bridging classic and current formats, is the dynamic augmented reality cover designed by visual artist Bileam Tschepe. To unlock its motion, follow the riddle on the back.

All tracks are mastered by Nihad Tule.

Annie Hall once again proves why she is one of the most interesting producers right now, continuing to carve her own niche of future machine funk right in between techno, electro and IDM. Overturn delivers a razor sharp remix with plenty of attention to detail, while Inter Gritty closes the EP with some serious old school vibes.

Viktoria joins Random Island with a strong three-tracker! Fast Forward uses a stripped-down, pounding rhythm to create an efficient, no-nonsense techno tool. The flipside shows off Viktoria's clout for creating hypnotic atmosphere, Tesla serving a delicious blend of twirling acid, warm pads and a seriously bass-heavy beat, and Launch closing the EP with deepest ambience.

First full EP from the enigmatic Osch! Straight from the Norrk?ping underground, this live techno master drops three solid tracks. Two stripped down, beat-driven techno tools are accompanied by one more abstract track to show that this versatile producer is far from a newcomer to the scene.

Album debut from Inter Gritty! This island-hopping adventure takes us from the quirky depths of Ictis through the 303 workout of Stac Lee and the brutal pounding of Swona, to the lush electronics of Cijin. The Norrkˆping, Sweden-based producer has taken his sound one step further from his previous EPs and painted a bigger picture, covering an archipelago of sound that offers both rough seas, jagged cliffs and serene forests.

Miss Sunshine is back on Random Island! She's definitely not brought the sun with her, rather opting to throw you straight into a black hole with nothing but earth-shattering bass, spaced-out bleeps and sweeps to keep you company. On the flip, Souls Reemerge is another assault on the senses, massive distorted arpeggios towering over a relentless beat. Finally, the closing Anti Hero will shake the life back into you with its highly efficient, jacking groove.

Three live recorded hardware jams from Abygatan, Norrkoping, Sweden. NTTA11 are Nihad Tule and Inter Gritty, and an array of old and new machines. This EP offers a trippier take on live techno than their first 11", but still very much pure-bred techno all the way. Except the closing Meta Incognita, which is something else. We're not quite sure what.
